The following query takes 3-5 seconds which seems a bit excessive:

select * from is3.pedigree2
where bhid in
( 322380, 379701, 380901, 394336, 394342, 396039, 400764)

Furthermore, when extended to the desired use, it generates a warning
message for which I can find no explanation for the reason code:

select * from is3.pedigree2
where bhid in
(select bhid from is3.ANIMAL_SETS
where set_name = '000' and USERID = 'jhoughex')

DB2 SQL error: SQLCODE: 437, SQLSTATE: 01602, SQLERRMC: 1
Performance of this complex query may be sub-optimal. Reason code: "1".

Both queries depend on the same complex view. I have used much more
complex sql without generating such a message or having such poor
running times. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. The view is below
(longish):

Maybe you could mention what indexes are present
on the underlying tables (animals, pedigree2, etc), and their
cardinality, and
the query-optimisation level you are using, and whether
the statistics are up to date, and what the access
plan shows?

It would be interesting to see the compilation time for this query.
You may find that it is significant.

I don't know what you mean about "much more complex SQL" - the view is a
15 way join, and adding the subselect to the query make this effectively
a 16-way join.

The problem is that you don't have enough memory (in STMTHEAP) for the
optimizer to compute the optimal join order for the 16 tables, so the
optimizer reverts to greedy join enumeration (which uses less memory,
at a cost of not selecting the optimal plan).


Have you tried making your view recursive? Not sure if this would help.
